Strangers in Paradise #88 - Abstract Studio


Well this issue was a change of pace. A change because it didn't leave me all teary eyed like the last couple of issues. That doesn't mean that I didn't love it just as much. It just wasn't as emotional as the last few. Anyways, Katchoo has decided to explore the country, and try to find just the right place for David's ashes. She's not having a whole lot of luck. And she seems very lonely. Well, Francine has decided something too. She's decided that Katchoo is the love of her life, she's meant to be with her, and she's not going to let anything stop them from spending the rest of their lives together. Well nothing except . . . maybe . . . Katchoo. Casey has also decided to move on with her life. She feels like she deceived everyone, even though she did come to truly care for, and love all these people. So she's decided to move back to Chicago. But just as she's about to do so, Freddie shows up and ends up talking some sense in to her. Who knew he had it in him? Anyways, Francine finally catches up with Katchoo in Santa Fe, and she talks and has dinner with her. I don't think that Katchoo really grasps the whole idea about why and how Francine found her. And that she's there to declare her unconditional love to her. She's more caught up in her own moment. Or her moment with David. Or her moment with David's ashes. So when Francine makes a move on her, she thinks that she's just messing with her again. Which, on the last page, leaves Francine standing in the hallway of the hotel, stunned that she didn't get a better reaction from her. But, with 2 issues left to go. Anything could still happen. I love this book, and I still can't believe it's going away. I really hope that Terry has something else planned, because I would really hate for the world to miss out on his unique insight and talent. And for the last 100 or so issues, THANK YOU!!
